Job Description:
The Team
With roughly $650 billion in assets under management, Fidelity Asset Management Solutions (FAMS) is a leading provider of multi-asset class solutions for retail and institutional clients. The range of investment solutions includes target date funds, target allocations funds, income and real return strategies, world allocation funds, managed-volatility strategies and other custom institutional solutions. FAMS is also developing and managing a range of cross-asset liquid alternative strategies, including managed futures, alternative risk premia, risk parity, global macro-opportunities, arbitrage products, and option-based hedging strategies.
The FAMS Quantitative Research team provides research and analysis to portfolio managers and other investment professionals in support of our broad range of investment solutions. This research is vital in helping portfolio managers to select the most suitable investment options and manage asset class and risk exposures across all investment solutions delivered by FAMS.

This work will improve the process used to manage Fidelity's mutual funds and client accounts and will also aid in the design and launch of new products. Specific responsibilities will depend on your level of experience, aptitude, and current divisional needs, which will evolve over time. For example, there are opportunities to contribute to projects related to target date glidepath design, downside protection and robust diversification, proprietary factor models, systematic strategies like managed futures, or liability driven investment solutions. Ideally you will have strong quantitative, programming and data modeling skills with the ability to think analytically, communicate clearly and work collaboratively.
